đĽŽThereâs a Chiu Quon bakery up on Argyle and down on Wentworth! Both are very very good. Those are a little trek respectively on the red line. I also highly recommend Sweet Bean which is not too far from you. To the West a little is Pilsen and Iâd check out Panaderia Nuevo Leon and any other place on 18th street.

I throughly enjoy visiting quant little bakeries wherever I go because there's undoubtedly always some goodies there.
I'm talking straight gas that makes you wiggle your fingers and say "don't mind if I do"
An added bonus is the more intimate setting since most of these places are pretty small so you can have a great chat with the owner and learn more about the pastries you're about to inhale.
Shout out to the chill Korean dudes at CookieBoy in Dublin, they been around for a year and yall gotta make sure they stay open.
Don't knock it til you try it

đmy sister just had a baby and i am considering the type of aunt?/guncle ? (the designation becomes tricky w gender lol) i may be. but ultimately the archetype of âcool auntââmysterious, distant-yet-warm, uninvolved in family dramas, arrives at family gatherings wearing strange, somehow stylish clothes, bearing copious gifts and floating on an air of urban lifeâresonates most soundly with me
this has also led me to reflect on how my momâs sister played such a key role in my  youth by revealing to me a foundational truth that this is not all that there is! âtwas a very hopeful message to me, a miserable child/teen unsuited to christian suburban life, forced to procure my wardrobe primarily from the womenâs section at the department store because that is what my mother deemed reasonable (and kohlâs cash)Â
some of the notable moments my aunt bestowed upon my adolescence include:
⢠taking me to see moonrise kingdom at the indie art deco theater in a nearby mountain town ⢠driving me to philly for shows at tla even though she had no idea who the artists were and would stand in the back; also paying for all my meals and whims on our south street jaunts ⢠curating a collection of signed books from author visits at her local library, which sheâd always drop off nonchalantly as gifts (charles santore picture books, lemony snicket !) ⢠signing me up for 5ks and carting me along to her races ⢠explaining to me what a âlesbianâ is and taking me to meet said lesbians in a dimly lit new york restaurant where i tried alligator sausage and felt so urbane ⢠general trips to ny for broadway shows and museums  ⢠introducing me to rummikub ⢠letting me roam free at community music festivals from late afternoon til dusk, where iâd encounter children from different counties, get in harmless trouble and infuse my life with the intrigue of those unknown to me but in those brief momentsÂ
